Dont Judge Me

if you are going to judge me 
judge me for the now 
not the past 
and if youre going to cause a fight 
make sure you can last
because I dont stop for love
because god above
knows its not enough
because times are rough
and im going to be me
and if you can't see
past my mistakes
then you have no right to take my dignity
because i still stand tall
even with my back against the wall
